Thank You, I had forgoten that only with a NMEA multiplexor I can have
more than one talker. I have the folowing situation: my gps is
sending NMEA messages to my AH autopilot, and the gps is receiving
Depth (DBT) from an Navman depth sounder. Aditionaly, I have a laptop
witch is reciving NMEA from the gps, for real time ploting, using some
software. If I add a VHF/DSC radio, sending and receiving NMEA to/from
gps, what would hapen?

My gps is a Garmin Gpsmap276C, witch now (3.1) includes a very
interesting interface with VHF/DSC, that can show the position of all
boats nearby (if they are DSC/VHF ready), so that I will see the
positions of all boats in the map screen, this would be useful in a
flotilha cruising for example,or pheraps to see ships in the scren? I
think this is not dependent of the Mayday function, witch is suported
too, but shows diferent symbols, colors and alarms.

In this case I will have more than one talker?

Thanks

Pascal

You are right some are outdated.

Take a look at http://vancouver-webpages.com/peter/nmeafaq.txt

That info is pretty old. More like NMEA-0183 V2 or so. V3.1 has a lot of
sentences with extra/new fields added.
